YouTube doesn't provide\nfree access to many of these information Candy provides, so everything is accomplished with small hacks. If YouTube changes something\nsome methods won't work anymore. [Open an issue](https://github.com/Simonwep/candy/issues/new) if so._\n2. \"What about other platforms?\" - _For now Candy should and will only be a downloader for YouTube._\n3. \"The number of playlist / channel items is not equal to these on YouTube?!\" - _YouTube counts private and removed videos in a playlist as\nvideos of this playlist. Candy won't take this into account, so it's possible that some videos are missing._\n4. \"Some downloads, mostly audio stuff, is especially slow?\" - _Since it dosn't make sense to provide high bandwidth for most of YouTube's ressources (Streaming doesn't need that much) it takes longer\nthan other, direct downloads. It's not possible to speed it up until YouTube rises his bandwidth._\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSimonwep%2Fcandy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FSimonwep%2Fcandy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSimonwep%2Fcandy/lists"}
